Martinez Shield

Shield donated by Frederick Martinez.
Originally competed for only once as an inter-club athletics trophy
in 1908 won by the Shamrock club. On the inauguration of the intercolonial
football championship in 1923, the Shamrock club donated the shield to the
Trinidad Amateur Football Association (TAFA) and the competition became
known as the Martinez Shield. Started as an intercolonial tournament between
Trinidad and Demerara (British Guyana); the last three editions also included
Barbados to form a triangular.

Not all the information is complete and therefore any additions
(in particular results 1925-1928 and match dates) would be welcome.

Note that Demerara was part of the then British Guyana (created by the
unification of Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice in 1831)
